The PC-BSD team has released a first beta of PC-BSD 1.2. From the changelog: "updated ports to current as of 6-26-06; added DBSD Network/User Toolset into Control Panel; convert PC-BSD tools to Control Panel modules;" and much more.

I installed the latest beta version and all I have to say is... WOW!! It has all a regular Windows user needs. It's so easy to install and to add software, just like on Windows, with 2 clicks you install applications. And it's got it all, codecs, good software that work out of the box, I almost didn't have to type commands to have everything set up to my taste. PC-BSD is only missing momentum. Good luck to the PC-BSD team!
